Project Design Guide

As mentioned on the Project Introduction Page, your project
has three components: the scenario, the presentation page, and
the student pages. The purpose of the Project Design Guide is
to give you a clear idea of what each component entails.

As you know, the focus of this course is to create an
engaged
learning (Plugging In) experience for your
students that best utilizes the Internet's unique capabilities.
LInC Online provides you with the information you need to
create a Web project that is infused with the elements of
engaged learning and technology.

To fulfill the requirements of this course, you must include
these three components in your project.

Your scenario is a vision of your project in
action! A narrative version of what someone might see, hear
and feel if they were visiting your classroom. It is an
opportunity for others to "see" what your project might look
like in practice.

The project presentation page is basically an
outline format that lists the project description, subject
and level, learner description, rationale, goals and
objectives, structure of the learning, assessment, and
evaluation.

The student pages are the pages you have created or
linked to in order facilitate the students' investigations.
One component of the student pages often forgotten is
creating a project
rubric that you will use to assess students' work.

Things to keep in mind . .
.

You may not violate copyright
laws. Any resources retrieved from the Internet and used
in your project must be accompanied by a reference/citation telling where it was
obtained.

Before you begin writing your pages think about the
qualities of a good Web page. Visit our page on Web page design for
guidelines.

To save time in creating your pages, your facilitator can
guide you to templates which you should use for your project
Web pages. Contact your facilitator for directions on how
to obtain these templates when you are ready to begin designing
your Web pages.

Note: If you will be drafting in a word processor, be
sure to keep all of your work in plain
text. Formatting text at this time may create
problems when you paste your work into an HTML editor.
